Forest Forward Inc

About Us

We are a mass timber manufacturer that uses 100% sustainable forest products, sourcing first from Indigenous-owned companies and forests in Northwestern Ontario.

We are a 100% Indigenous-owned mass timber manufacturer and research company based in Thunder Bay (Rosslyn Village). Founded in 2023 by Cory Hubbard, a Métis entrepreneur and mass timber researcher who holds a Master of Science, Civil Engineering. Our first goal is help meet the growing demand for glulam and mass timber construction materials in central Canada. The Forest Forward R&D Program develops new and better products in collaboration with regional scientists and companies for tomorrow’s Mass Timber 2.0 future.

Forest Forward will encourage more mass timber projects in the region and reduce glulam transportation costs for those projects already in the planning stages.

At Forest Forward, we incorporate Six Points of Innovation into our business developing the next generation of engineered glulam products:

*Stronger
*More fire & weather resistant without using pressure-treatment chemicals
*More cost effective
*More sustainable & environmentally friendly with a smaller carbon footprint
*Socially responsible
*Pushing the Canadian mass timber industry forward on the global market
We work closely with clients to provide personalized service & customized mass timber products for your unique needs. We can engineer different stress grades & appearance grades to meet your project needs & timelines
